Despite a clear rule limiting purchases to five sets per person, one customer from China attempted to buy 40 meals, just to collect the Pokémon cards. When questioned about violating the rule, the customer responded casually, "Each person can buy five sets; I have eight people.” Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?”
Chinese will steal ANYTHING. I’ve learned that. They steal television formats and we won’t know (Super Dice Q, any reality shows, PYL, et al) over the years without you knowing. Family members tell me they’d rather watch illegal uploads of television shows than pay to watch legitimate shows (I watch FNC and live sports) when they watch stolen illegal feeds of shows in 9:16 aspect ratio.
So it’s par for their course.
Is this the Chinese version of Beanie Baby happy meals in the 1990’s? lol
chinese are a plague of locusts and the open border globalists put out the welcome mat for these scum
It’s also disturbing that people are apparently willing to pay scalpers for this crap. My one son had pretty much all the Happy Meal stuff while he was growing up, which all went in the trash once he grew up. If only I had known some Chinese scalpers.
Those are very good.
Well, so much for “eating your peas because there are starving people in Red China”.
*******************************
Eat your Pokémon cards because there are starving children in China.
Where there is two or more of ccp mainland chinese gathered together there is theft and graft..........well one really.
It’s ingrained in their minds, their bodies, culturally, intellectually and by government decree.
You can tell how old people are by where people are starving to make children feel guilty about wasting food. In my parents' time it was Europe right after WW2. By my childhood it was China and India. Later it was Africa.
Well, they have one thing right. The ‘food’ IS trash.
”Only American live streamers are hated more than the Chinese.”
This is true , although I wouldn’t go as far as to say “ hate “ , As an American who has lived in Japan coming up on 40 years I am truly embarrassed by the uncouth and disrespectful behavior of my fellow countrymen .
Communism has just about ruined the Chinese.

Were invented by a Christian priest.
Its really more a cultural thing - were ever Han Chinese go they always refer to the locals as ‘laowhy’ or foreigners - if you are not Han Chinese, then you are a laowhy. They are extremely racist.
